High Life – Low Life…

THE British Benevolent Fund was established over a century ago to provide financial help to those Britons in distress in Spain.

Over the years the BBF has provided funds to many individuals and families in extreme difficulties.

Many times the situation is exasperated or caused by alcoholism for which the abundance of bars and cheap alcohol in Spain is a continual challenge for carers and concerned friends and family.

One such case took place towards the end of the pandemic – the lady in question was her mid­50s and came to Spain to work the party scene in Marbella and Puerta Banus as a PR rep and organiser in the 2000s.

She knew her way around, lived well and partied hard on the Costa del Sol where she had a high income and a lifestyle to envy.

The years however took their toll emotionally and over time she lost her shine and became addicted to drugs and alcohol.

Eventually the work stopped

– but the lifestyle continued and before too long she was running out of her savings.

One by one, her friends gave up trying to get her back on the path and then her family. Her parents sent her a stipend but this was not enough to live off and in any event was spent on the drink.

The catalyst was that in all the time she had been in Spain she had not taken residency and when the day came that she was picked up off the street comatose by an ambulance the penny dropped.

The big step was that she now recognised she had a problem which needed treatment – the issue was that she was not entitled to it in Spain and would need to be repatriated.

Working with the consulate we were able to do that – emergency accommodation was found and she was now back in the UK system to seek health and state support – a far cry from the party yachts of Puerta Banus – but the first step in a long journey of recovery.

We can only help with your help. If you would like to support our work with a donation or in any other way please visit our website www.british benevolentfund.org.

HELLO my Angels, how are we all feeling this week? The card I have pulled for this week is ‘leap’ and the universe will catch you. This week we are seeing the first signs of spring!! The sun is out a little longer and the dark evenings are coming to an end, this will make everyone feel a bit brighter and a little more hopeful for the summer, it feels like it was only a few weeks ago that we were at the beginning of January and setting our little goals?

How are we doing with the little goals? I have kept up with my little goals. I have slipped all in all for three days and it really made me feel a bit funny like I had done something wrong and my vibration went down a little and I only I could change the way I was feeling so I picked myself up and started again. But adding a few more to my list in turn brings my vibration up higher and starting to see results, so what I am trying to say is don’t worry if you have fallen off, you can always pick yourself back up and be stronger then when you first started!

It happens to everyone, spring is a time for new life, and that is how you can look at yourself. It’s time for all the hard work you have put in, you can now start seeking the rewards, so again just drop the fear and leap, whatever your intention is you will be fine.

If you’re at a crossroads and do not know what way to choose just take a moment have a breath and look at each one, what one makes you feel good and what one makes you feel scared. In any decision you make in life there is never a wrong choice. You may need to learn a little extra lesson if you go a different way but that is okay, never feel like you have failed because you have to keep getting back up and moving. And what you learn this year you can pass on to someone else.

You will always meet people in life for a reason and if you come across anyone they may need some advice or guidance that you have learned through your journey then pass it on and see how you have helped someone.

It makes you feel good and proud and those feelings are the feelings you need to have in order to achieve your manifestation. How are we all doing with this by the way? I would love to hear from you?

Also if anyone would like a small reading and then would like to say what you thought after please write in and let me know? So just remember you are where you are meant to be, the universe always has your back and never be afraid. Keep writing your little goals and keep going you are doing any amazing job.
